About

Kidney vetch is the only food plant for the caterpillars of the Small Blue butterfly (Cupido minimus)—the UK’s smallest butterfly and one of 37 vulnerable species supported by the Species on the Edge programme. By sowing kidney vetch and creating a butterfly scrape along the National Cycle Network path between Monifieth and Barry Links, we aim to give the Small Blue the best shot at survival along the Angus coast.

Join us for a friendly, hands-on volunteer session. We’ll walk sections of the path sowing seeds at marked points and dig a shallow scrape to encourage wildflowers. Lunch provided.
